OK, this is good news. I've plugged for Steve Ballmer in this space in the
past, and I'm doing it again. Steve Ballmer is perfect to head up Microsoft.
He's evil, he knows he's evil, and he's got a sense of humor about
it. He's like the ultimate Bond villan. Gates was just some
dork who tried to pretend he was a regular guy. You felt bad
ridiculing him, just because it was so easy. Ballmer knows where he
stands and he can take it as well as he dishes it out. Ballmer knows
the score.
